Though a good deal is known about the remediation of dyslexics of
all ages, there is growing awareness among teachers and others that
there is much more to their work that teaching literacy skills.
Most of us experience stress at some point in our lives, but
experience suggests that dyslexics are particularly vulnerable to
it. This book presents documented evidence on the subject.
The second edition has been substantially rewritten and contains
contributions from both dyslexics and non-dyslexics. Many of the
contributors to the first edition have substantially rewritten
their original chapters.
Among the new contributors are Morag Kiziewicz, herself
dyslexic and a learning support manager at the University of Bath;
Michael Lea, a professional musician; and Julian Cox, who, in the
editor' s view, was unjustly convicted of murder by the courts when
the whole event leading to this was a tragic accident brought about
by his disabilities. All describe the ways in which dyslexia has
influenced their lives. There are also chapters by Lindsay Peer,
who writes from her standpoint as education office of the British
Dyslexia Association and Melanie Jameson, who is advisor to the
Adult Dyslexia organization and speaks of the way dyslexics'
stresses in the lawcourts sometimes lead to serious miscarriages of
justice.
